SAN JOSE, CA — Last home game on Saturday was hard for the boys in Teal because it was the first game at home in more than a month due to the Four Nations Tournament. The Sharks suffered a 4-1 loss against the New York Islanders, a team that is in the hunt for a playoff spot. Tuesday night, The boys are back for a second game at home against the Nashville Predators.

Leading up to this game, the Preds are in a hot streak, winning three of their last five games while the Sharks hope not to add the 40th loss of the season. It was a tough outcome one again as San Jose dropped a 3-2 contest to the Predators after trying to make a comeback in third period scoring two goals and coming one short for the loss.

The game unravelled with physicality, intensity, and penalties. Two fights between V. Desharnais Fighting against C. Smith and B. Goodrow Fighting against A. Englund set the mood for a match that during the first period was marked by tension and opportunities for both teams.

During the second period, Nashville looked constantly precise in terms of playmaking that eventually led to the first goal of the night eight minutes into the second period, Filip Forsberg who registered his 25th goal of this season, minutes later the former Tampa Bay Lightning, Steven Stamkos joined him with the second goal of the night.

The figure of the night was Juuse Saros, Predators goaltender, who had a magnificent night and an absolute performance by stopping 13 shots on goal, undoubtedly a key player tonight.

During the second period, Sharks kept the scoring for them in zero.

Then, in the third period, things changed a bit, and this time it seemed to be in favor of the Sharks. Patrick Giles scored his first goal of the season, while Colin Graf scored his second of the season, with a record ten seconds between each goal.

The joy didn’t last long, though, as Kieffer Bellows scored the last Nashville goal of the night for the Predators, putting them up by a goal. Once again, penalty kill errors buried the loss for the San Jose Sharks that reached 40 losses Tuesday night.

The Teal comes back to action this Thursday night when San Jose hosts the Chicago Blackhawks, a very anticipated game as the crowd in attendance will witness two former first rounder draft picks in the first ever Celebrini- Connor Bedard clash faceoff at 7:30pm PST.
